5 Things to Watch For as Syracuse Basketball Closes Out Its Non-Conference Schedule Against Cornell (PS; Waters)
Syracuse University and Cornell University first met on the basketball hardwood on Feb. 16, 1901.
That was the first year Syracuse fielded a basketball team. It marked the second official game in school history.
Syracuse beat Cornell 18-15. The win set a precedent in the series between the two Central New York schools. More often than not over the years, Syracuse has beaten Cornell. Syracuse holds an 88-31 edge in the all-time series.
Syracuse and Cornell will meet again on Wednesday night at the Carrier Dome. The Orange has won 34 straight against the Big Red. Cornell's last win over Syracuse came in the 1968-69 season.

Scouting Report on Cornell Big Red (sujuiceonline.omc; Cheng)
Syracuse will wrap up the 2014 calendar year when it hosts Cornell on Wednesday evening. To get us prepped for the game, we sat down with our friend Michael Tony over at IvyHoopsOnline to get a scouting report for the upcoming game.
The Juice Online: Tell us about IvyHoopsOnline.
Michael Tony: IvyHoopsOnline is made up of writers from each of the Ivy League’s eight schools. IHO came into existence in the summer of 2011 and has quickly made its mark on the tight-knit Ivy basketball community.
TJO: What are the major story lines with Cornell?
MT: Cornell went 2-26 last year, and the season was every bit as ugly as that record indicates. Then the Big Red’s leading scorer in 2013-14, Nolan Cressler, peaced out to transfer to Vanderbilt. Re-enter Shonn Miller. The 2012-13 first-team All-Ivy forward missed last year’s disaster due to injury but hasn’t disappointed upon his return, notching 16.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game this season. With Miller leading the way, Cornell has turned heads by already tripling its win total from last season, going 6-6 so far.

Much Improved Cornell Visits Dome Wednesday to Face Syracuse (ithacajournal.com; Fleischman)
The first 20 minutes of last season's men's basketball opener between Cornell and Syracuse gave absolutely no preview of what was to come, for either team. In fact, they told an out and out lie.
The Big Red forgot it was playing before nearly 25,000 fans in the Carrier Dome, against one of the nation's top teams, and — fueled by an unconscious 20 first-half points from guard Nolan Cressler — raced to a 36-22 lead with 4:17 left in the first half. A late Orange spurt pulled the Orange to within six at the break and served as a springboard into the second half as Syracuse took the lead for good with 14:56 to play and never looked back in winning, 82-60.
What transpired after that is well-documented: Syracuse won its first 25 games and ascended to No. 1 in the land, while Cornell would win only twice all season and languish at the bottom of the Ivy League and, indeed, most all of Division I.

FSU Beats Florida on Bizarre Play at End of Game, GT Nips Charlotte, NC State Gets Embarrassed at Home Against Cincy (PS; Stevens)
It's tough to think of a worse way for a team to lose a game than tipping a buzzer-beater into its own basket, but Florida did exactly that . For the Seminoles, though, that qualifies as a signature moment in a season that has largely been disappointing so far.
Even better news: Florida State wraps up nonconference play at Mississippi State, which has dropped games to Arkansas State, USC Upstate and McNeese State in its last four contests.
ANOTHER NIGHT TO REMEMBER
G Marcus Georges-Hunt, Georgia Tech
The junior's driving layup with 1.8 seconds remaining handed the Yellow Jackets a 67-66 victory over Charlotte. Georges-Hunt finished with a career-best 25 points for Georgia Tech, which closed out nonconference play at 9-3.
DAY TO FORGET
N.C. State
The Wolfpack got a less-than-pleasant look at what happens when both Trevor Lacey and Ralston Turner are held in check. Hint: It isn't especially fun for N.C. State (10-4), which suffered a 76-60 loss at home to Cincinnati.
